OK, have found some stuff on the site regarding where the fonts should be
located (i.e <script-drive>:/dir/<font>.ttf) and also that I should use a
Unix style path, however, this still doesn't work - all I get is empty space
where the font should be and a warning that it couldn't find the font...
:-(

Hi,
Please don't reply with RTFM. I just installed Apache 2.0.36 and PHP
4.2 in Win XP Pro. Apache is running fine */localhost/ is working* and
<? phpinfo() ?> is showing the config. I have set register_globals =
On. So I practice following the source code from the book (and even
used the book's files), it seems that the form (in html) does not pass
the variable to the php file, all I can see is the html with the current
time (**echo date("H:i, jS F"); **). So if I can see the time output in
html that means PHP is working but why aren't the variables
passed/shown? I have been looking all over the mailing lists and I
can't find anybody with the exact same problem.

It seams that PHP isn't set to process the vars. It is needed to change
the php.ini in some place where there is the following:
; You should do your best to write your scripts so that they do not require
; register_globals to be on; Using form variables as globals can easily
lead
; to possible security problems, if the code is not very well thought of.
register_globals = Off
For your script to work as is, replace the Off with On.
However, bear in mind the security problems, because it very easy to
"emulate" a web page and feed it with the data one wants.
I would recomend that you use the arrays $_GET and $_POST to get the
specific var (depending on the method used in the form page) and more,
perform a expretion evaluation with regarding to the vars values (to
ensure that the values are ok (like be numeric so the multiplication
with the unit price will give the correct ammout).
Be ware also that when "re-posting" the data for the execution page,
never reuse totals and values processed by the previous page... because
would be easy to send a $1 dollar bill for all those stuff in your store!

Luis Ferro

Hi All, is there anyway to lockdown the PHP.INI file so that only the one
stored in C:\WinNT\ is read in by PHP?
As it stands, you can place a copy of the INI file into the same directory
as the script that your browsing to, and PHP will use that as its
configuration file, rather than the one in C:\WinNT\.
Cheers

Although "php.exe -c c:\winnt\" works from the console, it doesnt seem to
work through IIS. Entry in IIS is;
e:\php\php.exe -c "c:\winnt\" %s

Thanks for that, if only because I didn't know PHP included the "foreach"
function, useful to know. :)
